The curve equations are and
.
Two curves are said to be orthogonal trajectories when the slopes of the tangent line to both the curves is equal to .
Slope of the tangent is derivative of the curve.
\Consider .
.
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Slope of the tangent to the curve is
.
Consider .
.
The curve equation is .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Substitute in above expression.
Slope of the tangent to the curve is
.
If the two lines with slopes and
are perpendicular to each other , then
.
Therefore the value of .
The value of .
